Escape presents “Orient Express,” originally broadcast on CBS Radio on February 19, 1949, as episode 68. This tense adaptation of Graham Greene’s 1932 novel Stamboul Train was directed and produced by Norman Macdonnell, with Edgar Barrier, William Conrad, Hans Conried, Gloria Grant, and John Dehner.
Businessman Gregory Mayat boards the Orient Express for Istanbul in 1932 and finds himself among an uneasy collection of international travelers, including chorus girl Carol Musker and the mysterious Dr. Zinner. As the train races through the European night, a political mission and shifting loyalties turn the journey into a suspenseful web of danger. This is Greene’s Orient Express, not Agatha Christie’s later mystery.
Escape presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
